We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS

When you install Internet Information Server (IIS) from the MSDN Level III Backoffice compact disc 2 Setup program, you are prompted to enter Internet compact disc 4. The Setup program then displays the following message:
Backoffice 2.0 Installer cannot find the required files in the specified path. In particular, the following file was not found:
f:\insertsrv\i386\install.exe.

CAUSE

The file Install.exe was not included on the Internet Server compact disc.

RESOLUTION

A replacement for Install.exe is posted on Microsoft's FTP server. These files are self-extracting.

For each platform the URLs are: If you run the Setup program on an I386 platform:
  1. Copy the i386 directory tree to a temporary directory on your hard drive:

    xcopy /s d:\inetsrv\i386 c:\temp\i386
    xcopy /s d:\inetsrv\docs c:\temp\docs
    xcopy /s d:\inetsrv\help c:\temp\help

  2. Uncompress Install.exe file from the appropriate self extracting file and place it in the C:\Temp\i386 directory.
  3. Copy the inetsrv file from the \Inetsrv directory compact disc to c:\temp (one directory level up from where Install.exe was copied).

    copy d:\inetsrv\inetsrv. c:\temp

  4. Run Install.exe from C:\Temp\i386.
If you are installing Internet Server on a RISC platform computer, substitute the appropriate directory names for your platform.
